You might want to be careful if you come across this guy. According to several people on Facebook, he's ripped people off for money, phones, etc.

Posts about him on Facebook:


Be careful !!! This Belgian called Xavier is a beggar. He is trying to find work but nobody wants him because he always go out with the cash and is a notorious alcoholic. He tries to contact you by Facebook and asks you a few dollars to finish the month and, of course, the money never back. He "tried to" work Angkor Hotel Street 15, blue pumpkin at Riverside, La Patate street 5 and He has conned many people in Kep





He worked at Blue Pumpkin, borrowed people's money, never paid them back, stole a motorbike and a TV...





He said he was down on his luck. I had known him many years ago so I invited him to my house to eat and drink. I also gave him money. When he left he took my phone and some more money. Beware he is a druggie and alcoholic with no scruples. Id love to find him.





It's true ... This guy talk by Facebook with Belgian community and ask money every times.... Now if I have good info, he stay in Balung... Hope for him not come back in pp if he don't want a lot people kick him ... Poor guy for trash...





Last time i saw him walking near Night Market


And now for his handsome mug:

I've never seen any foreigners working at Blue Pumpkin... what do you think he did?

How do you know he is in Banlung ? It's a very small place - not easy to stay incognito for long. And not a good place to scam people.

I have been living in banlung and can confirm Xavier was working there until the end of April. He was quite a bit fatter than in his mugshots above (I would use the term very obese). Weirdly he was employed, I have just been told, even though those concerned and their friends had read about his past before hand . They wanted to give him a chance!!! . Unfortunately, this allowed him to steal from those of us who were not aware or informed of his past and on poor/volunteer incomes. How can these sorts of people be dealt with? I guess it is pointless telling the police? I am quite happy discussing this with others.

He told me he was training the staff. He is a cook.

He said he was training the staff at Blue Pumpkin. He is a cook, as well as obviously a crook!!!.

See my reply above

Bloody Belgians.

A crooked cook? A cooked crook/ What is it?

He's obviously not straight.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
